Leadership Development

ROBS students tend to naturally evolve into self-assured leaders. But that’s no accident; it’s by purposeful design. At our school, true leadership is about teaching our kids to think and act in a greater context. Helping them realize they can make a positive difference in the world. Inspiring them to serve as an example for others.

At the center of our leadership philosophy is the admirable and all-too-rare principle of taking responsibility. From the earliest grades, students are encouraged to take responsibility for themselves in the way they do their work and care for their belongings. We then create opportunities for them to look outward and take care of their classmates—leading daily lessons, serving on student council, participating in safety patrol, acting as a younger student’s buddy, or joining the Chapel Worship Team. Finally, we teach children to take responsibility for the community beyond our campus. Through good deeds large and small, such as service projects and fundraising for worthy causes, our students lead the way in making the world that surrounds our school a better place.

Service Education

Each year, our students raise enough money to buy a service dog for K9S4COPS and to drill a water well for Living Water International. And that’s just the beginning.

Safety Patrol

Class Leadership

First graders take turns leading class because sometimes, the best way to learn is to teach.

Student Council

A remarkable 70% of our 4th graders run for Lower School Student Council. How's that for confidence?

Spiritual Leadership

Middle School students act as spiritual leaders as well, leading daily devotionals on KROB and serving on the Chapel Worship Team.

Buddy Program

Pairing older and younger students in buddy partnerships amplifies the family atmosphere at ROBS.
